Title: Improvement in electrical snap action switches
IPC: H01H21/58
Filed: 1944-06-06
Abstract: 586,966. Snap-action switches; controllers. JACK & HEINTZ RESEARCH CORPORATION. June 6, 1944, No. 10884. Convention date, May 10, 1943. [Classes 38 (iii) and 38 (v)] A snap - action switch for use as a motor-controller has fixed contacts 3-8, Fig. 1, and two sliding contacts 9, 10 mounted at opposite ends of a pin 14 which is adapted to enter notches 11, 12, 13 in the frame 1, such notches corresponding to the "high," "low" and "off" position respectively. The pin 14 is moved out of the notches by the cam surface 18 of a handle 15 pivoted at 16. Also pivoted at 16 and connected to handle 15 by a spring 20 is a yoke 19 carrying a spring 21 which presses on pin 14. In moving from the off-position, a pin (not shown) on the handle engages one limb of spring 20 to strain it, and pin 14 is lifted out of notch 13 to move an L-shaped lever 22 clockwise about its pivot 23, thereby causing the end 24 to move a stop downwards about pivot 27 against the action of spring 28. When the pin 14 clears the edge of notch 13, the yoke 19 is snapped anti-clockwise by the stressed spring 20 until halted by stop 26, thereby allowing pin 14 to enter notch 12 and release the stop mechanism 26. This stop does not come into operation when moving from notch 12 to notch 11. In switching off, the lever 15 may either be moved direct to the "off" position, or a second stop 26 may be fitted to ensure stopping at the "low" position. In the low position contacts 4, 5 and 7, 8 are bridged, thereby placing all field windings 29-32 in series, whereas in the "high" position 3, 4 and 6, 7 are bridged, thereby paralleling 29, 30, as shown in Fig. 1.
Patent GB-527837-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to epicyclic change speed gears
IPC: B62M11/14
Filed: 1939-04-11
Abstract: 527,837. Variable-speed gearing. STURMEY-ARCHER GEARS, Ltd., and BROWN, W. April 11, 1939, No. 10904. [Class 80 (ii)] A four-speed gear for a bicycle hub comprises two sets of epicyclic gear trains 19, 21, 25 and 11, 15, 23, the annulus 19 and the planet carrier 22 of the first train being fixed respectively to the planet carrier 17 and the sun wheel 23 of the second train. The annuli 11,19 are connected to the hub casing 33 by ratchet clutches 12, 20. A dog 40 rotatable on a sleeve 34 slidable on the axle 24 is driven by the driving member 31 and can engage successively dogs 18 on the carrier 17 and splines 13, 14 on the annulus 11 by movement of the chain 37. In the position shown, the sun wheel 25 is held fixed by dogs 50 thereon engaging a sliding dog 51 splined to the axle 24. The annulus 11 is thus driven at a greater speed than the carrier 17 and the drive is taken to the hub casing through the clutch 12 giving a close ratio over drive for high gear. When the dog 40 is moved to engage the splines 13 a direct drive through the clutch 12 is obtained. The splines 14 are angularly displaced in relation to the splines 13 and when they are engaged by the dog 40 the clutch 12 is rendered inoperative and the drive is taken through the annulus 11 and carrier 17 to the ratchet clutch 20. This gives a close ratio low gear. Further movement of the chain 37 causes compression of the spring 56 and a shoulder 54c on the rod 54 abuts a key 61 and moves the dog 51 away from the dogs 50 and into engagement with dogs 53 on the planet carrier 22. The gear train 19, 21, 25 is thus inoperative and a second low gear of wider ratio from the normal is obtained. In a modification, giving a fifth speed ratio, the dog 51 is controlled by a second chain so that it may engage the dogs 53 when the dog 40 engages the dogs 18. In another modification the part of the carrier 22 forming the sun wheel 23 is separated from the part carrying the planetating gears 19, and the gear 25 is permanently keyed to the axle 24. A slidable dog may clamp the two parts of the carrier together, or lock the sun portion 23 to the shaft 24, leaving the other part free. Specifications 483,992 and 519,945 are referred to.
